The odds are stacked against her as she faces her greatest challenge yet...But that's nothing new in her world.

The fifth book in the plot-twisting, heart-pounding, magic-riddled USA Today best-selling Desert Cursed series. 

I thought I had the next steps in my journey plotted out. I thought I knew where I was going and who I was going with - the usual crew of Lila, the smart-mouthed tiny dragon, Ford, the man who would be my mate if I let him, and Balder, the horse who has carried me through more danger than I can count.

Crap on a camel, I could not have been more wrong. My world is turned upside down when my crew somehow gains two people who would as soon kill me as see me succeed. 

Even with this new twist, I must get to the crossroads before the golden moon rises, if we have any chance of dethroning the emperor and bringing my brother back from the dead.

Along the way, I find myself in treacherous waters facing new dangers, new enemies, and a choice that no one should ever have to make. 

Maks’s life is in my hands, and in the end, will love be enough to save him, or will I have to say goodbye to him, once and for all?
